This is one of the best purebred Simmental bulls I have ever seen. I am 82 years old and have seen as many bulls as anyone in the country. I am one of the fussiest bull buyers in America and a bull has to be about perfect for me to buy him. This fancy bull is so deep ribbed, square hipped, full of muscle and red meat. He is big topped, wide based, clean fronted, and clean sheathed. He is very sound on his feet and legs and carries himself well. He has a topnotch set of EPD’s and is a HERD BULL SUPREME. Out of a 1st calf heifer and the great WS Step Up X27. We paid $52,000, he’s one bull that was worth it!

MIKE SORENSEN ~ SALES 641-745-7949 mike@livestockplusinc.com
Greetings! Where did our summer go? State Fairs are almost all in the record books, and sale season is staring me straight in the face. You would think I would be sick of going to sales, but I feel like I’m going through withdrawal and need a sale fix. Let the sale fun begin! Dixie and I, along with Maria, Indie, and Michael Ray II, decided on a road trip last Sunday. We decided to go see the start of the Mills County “Freedom Rock” that my son Ray Michael II “Bubba” Sorensen was working on in Emerson, Iowa. Emerson is a little town with around 438 people, and amazingly enough it has a sports bar/restaurant open for business on Sunday afternoon called Harley’s Bar and Grill. I just had a feeling that this place could surprise me. It did! I had a “Roscoe P Coltrane.” Do you wonder what is a Roscoe P. Coltrane? It’s a

cheeseburger with canadian bacon, a fried egg, regular bacon, and BBQ sauce on a toasted bun. This picture doesn’t do it much good, but this sandwich was deadly. I’m kind of a big ol’ boy, (no need for comment on that) and by the time I got half way through “The Roscoe P Coltrane” I was darn near full, and those waffle fries were probably the best waffle fries I have eaten. They were very crispy, the way waffle fries should be. If you are ever in Emerson, stop in at Harley’s and tell them “The Freedom Rock guy’s” dad sent you. Just for the record, this small town of 438 people has lost two military men in 2004 and 2012. Our sympathies to the families of these fallen military men. I hope everybody’s summer went well and I am looking to see everyone down the road somewhere. Travel safe. Keep our military families in your thoughts and prayers. God Bless

A Little Bit About a Whole Lot of Things by Evan Rayl
With the approval of fresh beef from Brazil and Argentina to be allowed into the United States, the countries are readying themselves for export opportunities. A Brazilian official said there are two key steps still to be taken before Brazilian beef processors can start sales to the United States and vice versa. “Both the U.S. and Brazil need to sign the bilateral certificate,” Brazil’s secretary of international relations at the agriculture ministry, Tatiana Palermo, said in a Reuters news article. She said once the certificate is signed, both countries will organize inspections in plants to check compliance with the certificate’s requirements. Then, the plants can gain licenses to start negotiating export deals. In 2014, Brazil exported about 37,000 tons of processed beef to the United States valued at $217 million, USDA data showed. A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. The Angus Foundation is proud to announce Schaff Angus Valley, St. Anthony, SD, as the donor of the Angus Foundation Heifer Package to be auctioned off at the 2016 National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. The proceeds from the sale of this female benefits the Angus Foundation’s mission to support education, youth, and research. The chosen female, SAV Emblynette 5368 is true foundation material and has been selected for her individual quality and maternal excellence. Her Pathfinder grandam remains productive in the SAV program at 18 years of age. Her popular full brother, SAV International 2020 is the $400,000 top selling bull of the breed in 2013 and sired the lead off sire group in the record setting 2015 SAV sale, where 47 international progeny averaged $24,521 per head. International currently ranks among one of the most popular and widely used sires to surface from the SAV program. Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed. A February 2017 trial date for the lawsuit brought by Beef Products, Inc. against ABC-TV and journalist Diane Sawyer is still literally years away, given the witnesses and experts who continue to be subpoenaed. The lawsuit stems from a 2012 report by Sawyer and co-anchors where lean fine textured beef was referred to as “pink slime.” Beef Products Inc. claims a loss of $400 million in sales, closure of three of four plants and a layoff of 700 people is said to be the result of the off putting reference and slanted news coverage according to South Dakota based Beef Products,Inc., who is a large producer of the product. The company filed a defamation lawsuit in Union County, SD in 2012. It is seeking $1.2 billion in damages. Already subpoenaed are report-

ers for Food Safety News. They had to turn over all correspondence with ABC and other defendants to BPI lawyers. Journalists, food bloggers,and food safety researchers are also likely to be seen and called upon for the case. The lawsuit is set to be heard in state circuit court in Elk Point, SD. Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t. The Indiana Animal Agriculture Alliance is pleased that Indiana lawmakers are asking for an investigation of the Human Society of the United States, claiming HSUS is using deceptive fundraising tactics. The Alliance’s Hannah Thompson says HSUS and other animal rights groups bring in millions of dollars every year with little of it used to protect animals. Thompson says not only are HSUS’s activities questionable, they also have a specific agenda. It’s important that all groups are very open about their activities and what their intentions are. Indiana lawmakers are requesting the State’s Attorney General issue a consumer alert about the fundraising of HSUS and clarify confusion between the national group and local animal care groups. If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say that it is avoiding worry, stress, and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it. - George Burns I am writing this column just before the Iowa State Fair begins it’s annual eleven day run for 2015. I can hardly wait for the gates to open. Admission is only $11 during the fair and $8 before opening day. What a bargain! The grounds are almost a mile square plus a huge campground. The fair board is buying land to the east and southwest of the present grounds every chance they get with the southwest area complete. In addition, The Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation has performed restoration work on 26 buildings or facilities on the fair grounds. Shirley and I have given to this charity for many years. By the way, this is my 70th year of continuous attendance at the Great Iowa State Fair!!! I still remember Jack Shelley reading the regular news at 10:00 p.m. on the Grandstand Stage in 1946. It had been announced on WHO radio before the fair that he would be reading the news as a part of the evening show at the grandstand each night of the fair. I remember when he announced there was no rain in the forecast there were thousands of groans from the crowd because Iowa was in a drought right at that time. Soon after he finished reading, the fireworks went off. It had been the first time most farmers had seen him after he had got home from being away for World War II. There had been no fair all through the war. I remember, it took us a long time to get off the fairgrounds and started home. The very first 4 lane road came 15 years later. President Eisenhower brought the idea home from World War II in Germany. The first section of the Interstate 35 was built in 1959. It has been under reconstruction over the past two years. n

FYI
How it was Raised Does Effect the Grilling Experience by Larry Corah, consultant for Certified Angus Beef LLC http://www.cabpartners.com/news/photos/corah.jpg
Say you are at the grocery store to buy ground beef and steaks for a family gathering. Your goal is a satisfying eating experience for all. At the meat case, you quickly see all the choices available – and
you’re still looking at hamburger. It’s decision time. Do you want an 80-20 chuck, 85-15 sirloin or a 90-10 lean grind? Maybe a 73-27 or cheaper grind? Confused, you go to the steak section and then see Select, Choice, Premium Choice and even some Prime packages for sale. Adding to the challenge, you notice a small section of Natural, an even smaller section of Organic beef and even a few steaks with “grass fattened’ labeling. The great thing about this country is we have many choices. But choices can be a challenge, too. Back at the meat case, how does the production system impact your grilling and eating experience? Well, for nearly 95% of all beef produced, the traditional system is weaning a calf at 6 to 7 months. Then it’s placed in a foragebased stocker growing program for 3 to 6 months, followed by 140 to 160 days of grain feeding to finish. That was certainly not the original beef production system here. Up until the 1950s all cattle were grass fattened, but about that time, Midwest farmers started finishing them on grain. All of a sudden the consuming public said, “YES, we greatly prefer the flavor or grain-fed beef.” That’s how the United States became known as producer of the world’s highest quality beef. You likely knew that history. But here are some things you likely Did Not Know about how the beef production system impacts your beef grilling and enjoyment. Let’s start with a little Q &A. How long do cattle need to be on feed before the flavor profile we enjoy is created? Numerous feeding trials have shown that 80 to 100 days are required before we start to taste the difference, but adding 40 to 60 more days further increases flavor and tenderness of the beef. How much benefit is created by the added days? A study at South Dakota State University answered that question. Researchers harvested one group of steers with .3 inch of fat cover but fed another group another 77 days to .5 inch of fat cover. They found that the extra time on feed resulted in an additional 105 points of marbling (a full quality-grade difference) creating a more tender, flavorful product. Our company also did a consist survey at Certified Angus Beef ® licensed packing plants in which we evaluated carcasses by compositional end point. The underfed cattle (.2 inch of fat cover) had considerably lower marbling scores, % Choice and Prime carcasses and lower CAB acceptance rates (Table 1) . So back to the meat case, how would grass-fattened beef compare to beef produced in a normal production system? Workers at

the Ohio State University just reported results (2015) of a trial they conducted to answer that question. The researchers compared a tradiCattle Co. tional grain-fed system where calves are spring born and fall weaned then placed on a 90% concentrate diet, to cattle “fattened” on grass. The latter 35020 Church Rd. group was also spring born and fall Louisville . NE 68037 weaned, but placed on grass for a LES: 402-450-2340 short fall grazing period after weaning.

VOGLERCATTLE@YAHOO.COM There was a 180-pound carcass weight advantage for the traditional, grain-fed cattle. The trial resulted in B&B Equipment:Layout 1 7/12/12 1:36 PM Page 1 a fat cover of .23 inch and marbling score of 427 (Slight marbling or quality grade of Select) for the grassfattened versus a fat cover of .60 inch and marbling score of 604 (Modest, or Premium Choice) for the grain fattened cattle. A small percentage of consumers (less than 15% according to Nebraska research) do prefer grass-fattened beef.

was looking for a career change after working in the industry for 11 years. With a graphic design and photography background, she began visiting women and sharing their farm story through photos. FarmHer is an ongoing project documenting female farmers in their everyday setting, which often consists of working on the farm. FarmHer began by sharing photos of working women, and has expanded over the years, well past the photos. The FarmHer business

Overcome the Stereotype; Be a FarmHer by Lexi Marek FarmHer Communications Intern Iowa State University ‘17
Farming to many people includes a man in overalls, working the land. The 2013 Dodge Ram Super Bowl Commercial “So God Made A Farmer” made history as the second most popular commercial, but they missed one thing; the women. In fact, over 30% of farmers in the United States are women. When Marji Guyler-Alaniz read an article in the Des Moines Register about the lack of women represented in the TV commercial, she decided to use her photography talents to highlight an important and often forgotten part of agriculture. Marji grew up in the country and

10 Daily Care Tips For Your Show Cattle When you want to be successful at sports, you don’t just show up for games and expect to win. You attend team practices, you practice at home and you follow the game plan outlined by the coach. The same concept applies to showing cattle. You prepare for the ‘game’ through daily animal care, grooming and seeking guidance from the pros or a ‘coach.’ You follow that game plan right up until show day.
“We clean our water tanks frequently,” May says. “Clean, cool water will keep cattle drinking and eating in those hot summer months when consumption usually drops off.”
6. Keep pens and cooler rooms clean. May mentions a good rule of thumb is if it smells or looks wet or dirty – clean it. A clean pen or cooler room will make grooming and daily care of the animal easier for both the animal and the exhibitor. “If you don’t want to be in those pens or cooler rooms because of the smell, then the animal doesn’t want to be either,” he explains. “Cooler rooms do not equate to hair growth. Cleanliness is most important for hair growth.”
Bob May, Purina® Honor® Show Chow® Ambassador from Mineral Point, Wis., uses an intense and individualized game plan for each of his cattle. “Success in the showring starts with the cattle’s conformation, but is achieved with consistent hard work and daily care to get the cattle where they need to be at the show,” says May.
7. Learn the hair cycles. Hair grows in 90-day cycles, and this knowledge can help you determine what stage an animal’s hair will be in (or you want to be in) as you arrive at your show date. For example, for a show in August, May’s goal is to have all the old hair removed by the middle of May.
The calf may be the star athlete, but even the best athletes don’t perform well without proper daily training, management and a supportive team behind them.
May doesn’t shear off any of his calves, but recognizes this is a standard practice for some breeds. Instead, he relies on a shedding comb to bust through and remove old hair. The shedding comb works best when hair is dirty and dusty, not wet or caked with manure.
May suggests the following daily care tips to help take your show project to the next level:
1. Involve a veterinarian. Before an animal arrives at your farm, have a plan in place through your veterinarian for health and vaccination protocols. Ask the prior owner for a full health history on the animal, so you can have all of the animal’s health information at hand.
8. Practice, practice, practice. May has his own children show their animals in competition at least twice before heading to their target show. This allows the animals and exhibitors to shake their ‘first-time jitters.’
2. Earn the animal’s trust. A show calf needs to trust
“Specifically at the county fair level, it may be the first and only time both the kids and the cattle have seen the showring,” he explains. “And usually, that is not a good experience for the exhibitor or the animal.”
you, and trust comes in the form of working with the animal on a daily basis. It may be a long, slow process, but it’s one that’s essential to form a partnership with your project animal.
3. Have a consistent feeding routine. May suggests feeding individually at the same time each day. Cattle crave consistency, and when they are fed inconsistently they might also eat inconsistently. May also emphasizes that calves may eat better when they eat in a group setting. To make this possible, he will place individual calves in different runs nose-to-nose and feed them at the same time to mimic feeding in a group.
4. Monitor feed intake. Monitor what your animal is consuming at each feeding, and clean out old feed immediately. May has seen cases where new feed is simply dumped on top of old feed. “You can quickly lose track of how much feed your calf is actually consuming,” explains May. “You think they are getting 15 pounds at night, and they are actually getting 18 because someone didn’t clean out the old feed from the morning.”
5. Ensure water availability and quality. Animals should have access to clean, cool water at all times. This basic animal care tip is sometimes overlooked, according to May.

9. Find a hoof trimmer you can trust. May encourages all exhibitors to seek an expert in hoof care and recommends networking with other show enthusiasts to find a good trimmer in your area. Unlike clipping and fitting, there is little room for practice on hooves. “Find a good hoof trimmer that will do a little trimming on the top, but does most of the work underneath the hoof,” he says. “A bad hoof trimming can result in disaster.”
10. Stick to the game plan. Have a management plan. Identify important dates before the show, and execute your plan daily. “If you don’t focus on the management, other exhibitors will,” explains May. “And quite simply, if you don’t focus - those that do will beat you. They will be better prepared.”

Maybe it’s not for every family, but I’m sure grateful for these experiThose of you that know Matt and me, ences for my kiddos. It feels like they are ready to face a lot of things know that we are usually a tick late to life will throw their way. It’s never ever easy, but caring for animals is about every event in our lives. Some of a huge responsibility that instills some pretty big character in young you are probably laughing out loud at people!!! this point. It’s a family joke that when I have to give a big thank you to Mr. Mark Sneed for coming out someone calls and asks where you are, we and taking family pics of us! The kids had so much fun learning all the respond with, “Ankeny exit.” Back when aspects of photography and he had a ton of patience with 100 milMandi, my sister, and I lived in Ames, lion questions. Tucker thinks he is ready to begin his own photography Iowa, Dad called to see how close we career! As an industry we are all pretty darn blessed to have so many were to Des Moines and I said, “Ankeny that are so talented at their craft!!! Exit.” Turns out we had just gotten on I-35 Please take a moment to pray for our military and our country. It South from Hwy 30, which means we had appears that we have quite a few choices to make in the next few just left Ames and were probably 25 minmonths. I hope everyone takes the time to learn more about all the utes from the Ankeny exit. My family has candidates. Good luck on the show/sale road and everyone please never let me live that one down. So now travel safe! that you understand my serial lateness, I did not marry someone that God Bless, helps me with this issue! Heidi Sorensen Rohrig During our wedding ceremony our Pastor said, “Ya know I always 661-900-6004 thought Matt was parking the car when Heidi and the kids came in heidi@livestockplusinc.com to church late, but he was at least 10 minutes later than them!” So last Sunday, I was a greeter at church and got there a cool 15 minutes before church started. Matt and the kids even came 5 minutes early. They went in sat down and Taylor looked around and said, “What’s going on? Why isn’t everyone singing?” She has never been to church before it has started. I guess we all have our issues…right?? Taylor had a pretty big county fair this year. She has been kinda beside herself getting the Little Miss Adair County title for 2015. She is definitely THAT girl that is just perfectly content talking on the microphone, passing out ribbons, taking pics with winners, etc. It was super cute watching the Adair County Fair Queen, Miss Shelby Soper, jump around during the pig show trying to move Taylor out of the way. Let’s just say Taylor wasn’t bothered by the pigs rubbing up against her and a couple times looked at Shelby like she was crazy. It was entertainJUG livestock waterers:Layout 1 8/11/11 8:50 AM Page 1 ing to watch, though. It was sweet of Shelby to try to protect Taylor. Tucker has had a pretty exciting month! Beulah, his show gilt from last year, farrowed her first set of pigs, and you would have thought she was the Queen of England. She started having contractions on Sunday afternoon and I had trouble getting Tuck to leave her to go to bed. Matt explained to us that being a gilt, it could still be a while. Matt and I ended up getting up every hour or so to check her. Okay, maybe a little more Matt than me. Anyway, she didn’t end up having them until the next night around 9 p.m. All afternoon though, I would lose Tuck and end up finding him in the crate with Beulah or just talking to her. He said, “Mom I just don’t want her to feel alone.” Tuck had planned on naming her first three piglets after my mom, Dixie, and her siblings, Joyce and Ted. Beulah’s namesake is my Grandmother, Beulah Tucker, my mom’s mom. It was definitely icing on the cake when Beulah held off and had her babies on my Aunt Joyce’s birthday. Tucker is so proud, and that is probably an understatement, of his six new babies! The remaining three are pretty special too, Mallow because she is white with black spots and Beulah loves marshmallows, Socks, well that one is self explanatory and Hagrid because he was the giant that was a little hard to come out Carson Erickson, 9 years old, giving his steer, Bubba, a pep talk. (Harry Potter character). Pretty exciting and scary having kids so incredibly vested in the Parents Kipten Erickson and Julie Subart life/death of farm animals. What an incredible experience for them.
